ELEVATION OF EYEGLASSES FROM THE NASAL BRIDGE - A SIMPLE SOLUTION

Wearing eyeglasses following nose surgery is a problem faced by many p atients who require glasses for clear vision, The solutions offered fo r this seemingly minor problem are unsatisfactory and usually mandate special spectacle frames. We developed a simple apparatus, using a bas eball cap and a tie clip, that enables suspension of eyeglasses with n o pressure on the nasal bridge. This solution utilizes readily availab le components and maintains clear vision with possible frequent readju stment of the glasses, It also avoids contact of the glasses with any part of the face, namely the operative site, dressing, and wound disch arge, We find this technique a simple and useful solution for a distur bing problem in plastic surgery.
